Then during the Bush administration, a 2002
Labor Department letter stated that such gear actually was clothing. This
changed again in 2010, under President Barack Obama, when the 2002 letter was
revoked, reverting the official position so the items were viewed again as
protective gear."It would be a considerable paradox if, before 2001, the
plaintiffs would win because the president was a Democrat; between 2001 and 2009
the defendant would win because the president was a Republican; and in 2012 the
plaintiffs would win because the president is again a Democrat," 7th Circuit
Judge Richard Posner wrote.The 7th Circuit panel concluded that, even though
some of the items donned by U.S. Steel workers were not clothes, it took the
workers so little time to pull them on and off that they were not entitled to
compensation.When it comes to women's clothing sizes, there's some funny math
going on.The average American woman is about 25 pounds heavier than she was in
1960. Yet women's plus-size clothing,Though many countries dictate that some

only about 9 percent of the 190 billion spent annually on clothes.What's wrong
with this equation?
It's not that plus-size women aren't into fashion.
Rather, the fashion industry doesn't seem interested in them.The fashion

still an interesting stigma attached to plus-size fashion and the woman who
wears it," says Marie Denee, who wears a size 16 and studies the industry on her
website, TheCurvyFashionista. "Many think, 'Oh, she doesn't want to draw
attention, live life, date, be confident, wear fitted clothes with bold colors
and patterns,' when the exact opposite is true."Carmen Barrington, 32, says that
attitude has resulted in fewer plus-size options. Barrington, who wears about a
size 22, lamented recently after a day of shopping at Forever 21, Lane Bryant
and other stores that she sometimes can't even find decent plus-size clothing at
retailers that specialize in it.
